Vintage Soviet Mechanical Alarm Clock "SLAVA" (Glory) – 2nd Moscow Watch Factory – 11 Jewels – Caliber 5671
Presenting
a true icon of Soviet horology – the "Slava" mechanical alarm clock.
This particular model was manufactured by the prestigious Second Moscow
Watch Factory (2nd MCHZ) , the same factory that produced the famous
"Victory" (Pobeda) watches, during the height of the 1970s.
This
is not just a timekeeper; it’s a collectible piece of Cold War era and
Mid-Century Modern design. It gained popularity for its legendary
durability, loud but reliable ringing, and minimalist aesthetics.
Key Features:
Movement: The heart of this clock is the robust Caliber 5671
manual-wind movement on 11 ruby jewels. Unlike cheap plastic mechanisms,
this all-metal construction was designed to last for decades (and it
has!).
Case & Base: Features a warm golden-toned round metal
case sitting on a signature matte black Bakelite (phenolic resin)
rectangular base. The contrast between the gold metal and black base is
very striking.
Dial (Face): Beautiful dark charcoal/grey dial
with large, legible Arabic numerals (12, 3, 6, 9) and dot indices. The
dial is signed with the authentic marking "CДЕЛАНО В СССР" (Made in
USSR) .
Controls:
Crown on the back: To wind the mainspring and set the time.
Crown on top: To wind the separate alarm spring and set the alarm hand.
Dumb-bell switch (bottom back): Turns the alarm ON/OFF.
Why This Model is Sought After:
Collectors
highly value the Slava alarm clocks from the 1970s because they
represent the "Golden Era" of Soviet minimalism. The combination of the
Bakelite base (rare on modern clocks) and the 11-jewel movement makes it
a reliable piece of everyday vintage. This clock features the classic
"telegraph" style numeric layout which is very reminiscent of
mid-century office and home decor.
